Ebez

Ebez was one of the sixteen cities of Issachar's tribal inheritance named in the catalog at Joshua 19:20: "And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez (Ebez)." The town appears only in this single boundary list and is uncertain in location. It lay somewhere in the Jezreel Valley between Mount Tabor and Beth-shean, in the rich agricultural plain that made Issachar the breadbasket of the northern tribes. The exact site has not been identified, though some scholars connect it with Khirbet el-Beidha.
